Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 238

Darren decided to condense the blade and sword cores simultaneously, which turned out to be far more difficult than he imagined.

Three months' time had quickly elapsed, but he felt that he was still far from finishing condensing the cores.

One day, while Darren was cultivating as usual, there was a rumble from a distant mountain, stirring its surroundings and everything within close proximity to it. The tremendous spiritual energy that poured into it caused a shock so violent that it reached Darren's location.

The rumbling was an apparent sign of someone reaching the Wonder Realm.

Darren raised his head and glanced towards the direction of the mountain. "Hmm, not bad. That cultivation speed is almost as quick as mine," he muttered.

But he was not really concerned much about it. Even at his normal speed, he was able to reach the Wonder Realm two months ago. And so, he ignored it and went back to condensing his cores.

Time flew by and five months passed. Darren felt his sword and blade intent had finally reached the limit which meant that he was now on the threshold of forming his sword and blade cores. But frankly, it was still easier said than done. Over the past months, Darren had tirelessly devoted himself to the cultivation of the sword intent and blade intent. Day in, day out, he hardly ever slept or took any rest.

It was much more difficult to cultivate the two kinds of intent together than just one of them, but he was still determined to do it anyway.

At that moment, as Darren gathered his blade intent and sword intent into his elixir field—the energy center inside his body, his mental state also arrived at the limit.

He had reached the realm of selflessness.

He made various gestures with his hands, making the perfect blade and sword formulas appear. The blade and sword intent spun together inside his elixir field and slowly formed into what would be the beginnings of a blade core and a sword core.

He was starting to make progress, when suddenly, he felt a heavy fluctuation in the heaven and earth spiritual energy. It could only mean that more warriors had reached the Wonder Realm.

'Huh? What's with this change?' Darren felt something different.

He found a subtle change just when his blade intent and sword intent were on the point of formation. Quite a number of imperceptible whirlpools appeared on the cores. It sucked in all the blade and sword intent that approached it, compressing them at a rapid speed.

Darren tried to pour a mass of blade and sword intent into his elixir field and all of it was almost instantaneously compressed into the whirlpools. As it happened, the color of the blade and sword cores turned from red to orange.

'I see! This is the way to improve the level of the core!' Darren was overjoyed. The level of the sword core or blade core was ranked according to its color: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple from low to high level. The higher the level was, the more powerful the "intent" was.

Realizing this, Darren did not bother trying to form his blade and sword cores. On the contrary, he focused his mind to cultivate more blade and sword intent and send them to be compressed into the whirlpools.

However, this process seemed to have taken longer than he realized. In almost a blink of an eye, one year had passed and there were only four months left until the first examination.

...

The talents scattered around the Ancient Void Battlefield all stopped cultivation in the last four months. They were thinking that it would be near impossible for them to enter the middle stage of the Wonder Realm in such a short amount of time in spite of the fact that they had all reached the Wonder Realm.

Maximizing their fighting capacity was the more crucial point to their victory anyway, so they just focused on that aspect. Once the talents had reached the Wonder Realm, it was necessary for them to fully comprehend the martial art skills that they chose and try their best to practice those skills to perfection.

On this day, three years had passed. Every talent was flying back to the spot where they first came three years ago.

"Huh? We initially had fifty participants. There's one who's missing. Who is it?" a participant pointed out.

Soon, all the others took notice of the missing participant.

It was not long before they found out that it was Darren who was missing.

Don snickered. "Hey Boyce, do you have any excuse for that lad? That rubbish wasn't that far from my cultivation spot, but I've reached the Wonder Realm half a year ago. Him, on the other hand... Well, we haven't heard anything about him at all!" he said, eyebrows raised in arrogance.

"Oh, don't be a fool, Don. You're no better than that rubbish. What are you bragging about?"

a few disciples from the Dragon Alliance defiantly quipped. They knew that Don's and Boyce's realms were extremely normal.

"Enough! What are you arguing about? All of you are rubbishes to me." A young man dressed in white leaped into the air. His overwhelming aura made a lot of cultivators on site feel greatly oppressed.

None of the talents, including the superior talents had reached the middle stage of the Wonder Realm, but judging from the aura released by the youth in white, he was definitely close to the middle stage of the Wonder Realm. What a powerful man he was!

"Ants!"
